"The art installation "Monumento del Peregrinos" goes back to a suggestion by the pilgrim Ernesto Calvo, who is a member of the Friends of the Way of St. James in Navarre. (...) Seventeen life-size flat figures made of naturally rusted iron, twelve people and five animals, form one Pilgrimage with members from different epochs, social classes and age groups. Men, women and children are there. The figures were set up in 1996 as landmarks that can be seen from afar. These are works by Vicente Galbete Martinicorena, a sculptor from Pamplona. (... ) After the installation was completed, the artist did not wish to inaugurate the art installation: Galbete wanted to express his respect for the centuries-long continuity of the procession of pilgrims. He understood the group as part of this pilgrimage, but not as something new."

On the heights of the Alto del Perdon, and thus in a prominent place, is this "pilgrim train", sometimes also referred to as the "pilgrim caravan" - built in 1996 by the friends of the Way of St. James from Navarro. The figures are worked as silhouettes of rusty iron.
